Hotkey Setup (continued)

The following steps will enable you to reconfigure the default Hotkey combinations:

1.Highlight the Action you wish to change and click Start.

2.Key in the Function keys (one at a time). The key names appear in the key field as you press them.

3.When you have finished keying in your sequence, click Stop.

4.Click Set.

5.Click Close.

Note: You can use the same function keys for more than one action, as long as the first key is not the same. For example, you can use F1 F2 F3 for one action; F2 F1 F3 for another; F3 F2 F1 for a third, etc.

An explanation of the Hotkey actions is given in the table below:

Action

Description

Default Hotkey Command

 

 

 

Exit Remote Location

Breaks the connection to the B064-Series KVM switch and returns you to local

F2, F3, F4

 

computer operation.

 

 

 

 

Adjust Video

Brings up the video adjustment utility.

F5, F6, F7

 

 

 

Toggle OSD

Toggles the OSD display Off and On.

F3, F4, F5

 

 

 

Toggle mouse display

Use this hotkey command to turn the local mouse pointer into a barely-noticeable tiny

F7, F8, F9

 

circle. This allows the user to concentrate more on the remote mouse pointer. Since

 

 

this is a toggle, use the hotkeys again to bring the mouse display back to its original

 

 

configuration.

 

Adjust mouse

This hotkey command synchronizes the local and remote mouse pointers following a

F8, F7, F6

 

video resolution change. After invoking this utility, click the local mouse pointer on top of

 

 

the remote mouse pointer to enact the sync.

 

 

 

 

Video Auto-sync

This hotkey command performs an auto-sync operation. It is the same as clicking the

F6, F7, F8

 

Auto-sync button in the Video Options dialog box.

 

 

 

 

Show/Hide Local

Toggles the local mouse pointer off and on. As opposed to the Adjust mouse command,

F4, F5

Cursor

this command will hide the local mouse pointer altogether.

 

Substitute Alt key

Although all other keyboard inputs are captured and sent to the remote computer, [Alt

F11

 

+ Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] are sent to your local computer. In order to use them on a

 

 

remote system, another key may be substituted for the Alt key. If you substitute the F11

 

 

key, for example, you would use [F11 + Tab] and [Ctrl + F11 + Del].

 

 

 

 

Substitute Ctrl key

If your local computer captures Ctrl key combinations, preventing them from being

F12

 

sent to the remote system, you can implement their effects on the remote system by

 

 

specifying a function key to substitute for the Ctrl key. If you substitute the F12 key, for

 

 

example, pressing [F11 + 5] would appear to the remote system as [Ctrl + 5].

 

 

 

 

Note: To invoke an action, you must press and release the keys one key at a time. The command will not take effect if you press all keys at the same time.

Video Options

Clicking the Hammer icon on the Control Panel brings up the Video Settings dialog box. The dialog box allows you to adjust the placement and picture quality of the remote screen on your monitor:
